IIEPROVED MOP AND SCRUBBER COMBINED.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thelarme.

.To all whom it ma/y concern:

Be it known that I, ERAs'rUs S. BENNETT, of the city, county, and State'of New York, have invented a new and improved Method of Constructing aCombined Mop and Scrubber; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full and exact description thereof, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in the manner of combining andarranging a mop and scrubber, so that the implement may be cheaply made,while it is also more convenient for use than any other heretoforeintroduced.

Figure No. l represents a perspective view. of my mop and scrubber.

Figure No. 2, a half section 'of the same.

Corresponding letters represent corresponding parts.

This implement consists of the plate A, which has, parallel with itsupper edge, a slot, B, for the reception .of the cloths, rope, J, orother suitable material for mops; plate C, which is provided with awedgingtongue, D, at its upper side, which tongue fits loosely into theslot B, and holds the mop in place, the plates A and C being drawntogether. by means of the screws E, of which there aretwo, only onebeing shown.

At the back of the plate C, a suitable socket is cast, for the receptionof the handle F.

At the lower ,inner edge of the plate C, is a bead, or vslightprojection, G, to insure the rubber H being firmly held at this point.

vllihen it is 4necessary to renewA the I nop, or rubber, the screws Eare taken out, or loosened.

The plates may be cut out in fancy shapes, to decrease thweight ofmetal; and both can be cast complete.

I believe that, by this arrangement, I can furnish a cheaper and moreeifective article than is to be found in the market.-

I do not claim the combination of a mo'p andscrubber, these articleshaving been used in combination.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The plates A andC, with slot B and tongue D, arranged to operatesubstantially,as and for the purpose set forth.

E. S. BENNETT.
